1. Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorize Etsy to provide), such as:
• Your name
• Email address
• Postal address
• Payment information
• Details of the product you’re ordering
• Any personalization or customization details

You may also choose to provide additional information if you contact me directly.

2. Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on several legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• To fulfill your order. I use your information to process your order, arrange production through Printify, provide customer support, and deliver your items.
• Legal obligations. I may retain information about your purchases if required by tax laws or business regulations.
• Legitimate interests. I use your information as necessary to operate my shop and comply with Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
• Consent. I do not send marketing emails. If this ever changes, I will ask for your explicit permission first.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
I share your personal information only for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide my services and comply with Etsy’s policies.
• Printify (Production Partner). I work with Printify to produce and ship certain items. I share only the information needed for them to fulfill your order (such as your name, shipping address, and product details).
• Service providers. I may share your information with delivery companies to ship your order.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, or share your information if I believe it is necessary to respond to legal processes or government requests, enforce my agreements, or prevent fraud or other illegal activity.

4. Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
I generally keep your data for 4 years.

5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
Your information may be processed through third‑party services located in the United States or other jurisdictions with different data protection laws.
When transferring data, I rely on:
• Contractual necessity (to fulfill your order), and
• Third‑party compliance mechanisms such as Privacy Shield or equivalent safeguards where applicable.

6. Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have several rights regarding your personal information:
• Access. You may request a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
• Change or delete. You may request corrections or deletion of your information (except where I must retain it for legal reasons).
• Restrict or object. You may object to my processing of your information or request restrictions.
• Complain. You may raise a concern with your local data protection authority.

7. How to Contact Me
